Do you think it will be enough to get Dutton out of hiding on a non sitting week?
He might not need to come out of hiding... Albanese was on ABC News radio this morning blaming the Greens for the cluster f*** he has on his hands...Do you think it will be enough to get Dutton out of hiding on a non sitting week?
Getting suspended indefinitely means she either backs down and says she'll vote with Labor MPs on Palestine in future or she gets expelled. I can't see either side backing down at this point, they'd look weak.Slapped with a limp lettuce leaf (just misses some meetings)
Labor don't like their MPs having their own brain and values. They want mindless party drones.but don't see what she did wrong. We woulf be better off if more pollies crossed the floor on issues their voters want them to.

You know full well that the Coalition (and Greens for that matter) permit crossing the floor without the threat of disendorsement. Labor does not. That's the difference.They all do.
Its not party politics if they all vote on issues based on what they individually think.

As of April 2019 it hadn't occurred, and I can't think of an example in recent history for the Greens, so I'd say the answer is no.Are you able to provide an example of a Greens Party MP crossing the floor without further consequence? I am asking out of genuine ignorance: I can't remember one.
I can't remember one either, but I've never heard of a rule existing within the party that is similar to the Labor one. I've certainly seen Greens representatives quit the party over internal disagreements, like Lidia Thorpe and Justin Field, but they didn't formally cross the floor and they weren't expelled.Are you able to provide an example of a Greens Party MP crossing the floor without further consequence?

There is the small matter that opposing the Israel Lobby is political suicide.Opposing genocide gets you suspended at the ALP
Great look dickheads
Labors own policy says they support a two state solutionThere is the small matter that opposing the Israel Lobby is political suicide.
It is all good and well to attack Labor for not taking a harder stance, but that ignores Dutton falling into line immediately behind the Israel Lobby "yes sir, no sir" style completely in opposition to stated Australian Policy.
Again this all comes back to a completely biased and non-functional media. When the media is nothing more than the communications arm of one side of politics and will not even support stated Australian Policy then what chance does Labor have to swim against the tide.
And on top of that this whole thing is nothing more than a Greens stunt that can only benefit the Liberals. How can anyone take The Greens seriously when they are playing the exact same stupid political games the big two play.
Democracy in Australia is a joke.
And there are currently 3 jewish Labor members in federal parliament - what happens when they cross the floor?Labors own policy says they support a two state solution
the fact they are censoring a senator for acknowledging the state of Palestine is all you need to know
attempting to put this mess at the feet of the greens is good for labor but not for democracy
Well the cost of that problem is a Dutton government.that's not my problem that's labor's problem
you've mistaken me for someone that argument works onWell the cost of that problem is a Dutton government.
Good.I see Labor are pressuring her to quit politics
